[Akira may not know exactly why the cherry blossoms had stirred Minato's heart so. . . but he can see the way tension eases from the other Wild Card's shoulders, leaving him light and smiling as they stand underneath the tree's cool shade]
Y-- yeah. [he responds, head bowing slightly] Thanks. . . for coming with me.
[aha. . . it's happening again, isn't it? that strange wave of nostalgic emotion that feels far too powerful to be associated with someone he just met. and yet, he doesn't mind it. in fact. . . it might be nice to let himself get lost in its gentle currents]
[ That's right -- their food is growing colder with every minute that ticks by. Though even if Minato specifically mentioned "hot sandwich," a cold burger's just as good as a warm one. Both contain a positive number of calories.
He nods before glancing around the garden. Doesn't look like there are picnic tables set up anywhere, but... it's not like anything's stopping them from eating right here, is there? ]
Here?
[ A picnic beneath the cherry blossoms trees would be pretty quaint, but perhaps there's another spot that Akira might prefer. ]
[both contain a positive number of calories, I'm crying]
[and there may be no tables or benches, but Akira agrees that they aren't necessary for an outing like this. he didn't think to bring a blanket, but that's okay! it might be kind of nice to settle against the warm grass, as if they really are stretching out beneath the sun's gentle rays]
Here.
[there is nowhere else he would rather be, made further evident by the way he plops his butt down right beneath the sakura tree's shaded branches]

Let's eat before our burgers get cold, yeah. . .?

I can't think of anywhere better.
